Try looking on the back. People often write on the back of photographs were it is, who is in it, etc etc...
Should I get my coat?

That's because it is Sheffield.

Didn't often get too far from the Uni as a student there

And on a similar note, can anyone name any other churches or cathedrals with a pair of bell towers like this?
It's a genuine question rather than a quiz, as I have a strong memory of photographing one on a long boat trip a few years ago. BUT, I can't find any photos on my phone and a careful look on the map of everywhere I've been boating reveals nothing.
I'm beginning to wonder if I dreamed it and there is no such other twin towered church.

Notre Dame (de Paris) and numerous copies thereof? And Rouen Cathederal...

Good to know I was correct about Sheffield, having been born there, and had a view very similar to the one in the photo from my bedroom window on City Road (A6135). I thought I recognised the "ziggurat" building, which used to be Midland Bank's head office.

Yes, it is Beverley Minster. Am I correct in thinking that at some time in the past, when the Minster was built, Beverley would have been a fairly powerful or influential place?
